Dear Akki, 

According to my view this are the best book you can reffer for ipcc.

Accounts - Institute's module and practice manual or MP Vijay kumar

Law -G.K Kapoor and practice manual

Ethics and Communication - Institute's module and practice manual

Cost and FM - Institute's material and practice manual

Taxation - T.N.Manhoran or if you have recent changes better to adopt institute's module and previous year papers are must to solve

Advanced accounts - Institute's material and practice manual but for banking chapter you can refer PC Tulsiann

Auditing - Tapan Jindal of Bharat Publications and refer practical questions from practice manual

Information Technology - Mohit Chaturvedi of Bharat's Publications

Strategic Management - Institute's module and practice manual.

All the Best 

Business laws AND Company laws = 1)theory = padhuka

                             2)practical = padhuka (including revision test papers of previous years are given) and only the hints are given which are very useful for quick understanding if you want detailed answers than refer practice manual

ethics and communication = only imporatant ones with simple language                                                                    and practical questions                                                                                                                                             > munish bhandhari

if referring to munish bhandari dont refer practice manual  and paduka for ethics and communications but refer RTPs of previous years from padhuka

FAST TRACK REFERENCER IS A MUST FOR EXAM TIME PREPARATION FROM PADHUKA.

                                                                                                                                          ALL THE BEST

Boss, According to me...u got a wrong interpretation...all coaching classes r not like that...u can do self studyonly if u have a better confidence. Plz Don't  be discouraged by reading this bcz...I had some worst experience of self study...everything , anything is passible...but not easy....now  i joined coaching classes & i am getting a lots of ideas...specially logics behind the problems  in accounts, costing, fm..and presentaion way in the exams as well...If u have no other works..itz better to join coaching classes..But select the better one...ALL THE BEST...Please don' go in a negetive way...plz....Doubts..if any regarding my suggetions..u can meet me on 9930851525 or ashokkhegde @ gmail.com

Of Course, u can refer above mentioned books for ur better reading...man...bye..

ACCOUNTS = you must go for HANIF and MUKHERJEE  for better conceptual clarity

                    =  pc tulsian starts from the very basic and goes stepwise but u have to invest a lot of time in becoming masters in accounts ( i can guarantee u you will have an edge over others if u have that patience to study  from tulsian everything in detail)

ACCONTING STANDARDS =  HANIF AND MUKHERJEE are the best books if u r doing                                                 self study.

                                           =   tulsian is very concise but its great for exam time revision.                            

                                                          = i will suggest you should not go for DS rawat or padhuka if u have the above two books with you for AS
